What the Future Holds

What does the future hold within me?
Wish I was God for one moment so I didn’t have a blind eye so I could see
Some wish they wasn’t human some wish they couldn’t bleed
All I wish is what the future holds for me
Am I ahead of my time?
Am I ahead of my prime?
Am I the definition of what hate brings inside?
Wish I could press rewind
Feels like I’m stuck in the fight
Because the future isn’t looking so bright
And the hate is building and brewing so it’s dimming my light
Wish life didn’t come in a blur so I had control of my sight
In the end all I can do is give the world all of me
I only have perceptions and visions of what the eye can see
Just want to know the truth and what the future brings within me

Mental Asylum

Most blacks speak through ebonics
Most whites think we should get hooked on phonics
Our brain cells are enslaved by mental slavery
With racism as its barriers
You should break from this state for heaven sakes
If you don’t than you always be a enslave that’s checkmate
Your mind isn’t your own all twisted into twirls
Walking with ignorance for the next man
Cause they didn’t inherit your beliefs of the next-gen
Carved in our brain that will never go away like a bloody gag
You should open your horizons so you’ll never have a cold hand
Instead your brain cells are clawing through your skull so quickly man
Prison isn’t where you find your passage in
Mental stability is where you should pack your bags up in
This world for far too long has been constructed through slavery and bondage
Worse than forcefully being fed poison through the abdomen
When you finally stretch your mind you march alongside me
The inflation, the recession, the prisons are the footsteps of this nation
False propaganda is worsening your thoughts and your psychology
This isn’t over reacting or mythology
